I used to go to the Headache and pain center from 2015-2019. At first they were great but by they end Dr. Garcia had run off most of the good doctors and because he owns it or did he thought he could treat you anyway he wanted. For example once he cut me down on my medication and didn't tell me he was even going to do it. When I looked at the script I thought he had just made a mistake. I just wanted to know what was going on instead of calmly telling me what was going on he yelled so loud everyone in the lobby heard him and he said if you don't like you can walk out the door. I have high functioning autism and he caused me to start crying hysterically. He is a very rude man and that wasn't the only time he was loud and rude. From a botched fusion surgery where they pinched a nerve leading to my left leg which has caused me to develop severe left side neuropathy to them sending me home after another surgery with a severe headache and severe projectile vomiting instead of dealing with the issue or transferring me to a hospital. 24 hours after I was released I was in the emergency room with such vertigo and severe headache and projectile vomiting that it took them hours to get it under control. The problem: the Headache and pain doctor did a blood patch wrong and injected way too much fluid/blood into my spine causing too much pressure on my spinal nerves and cord. They had to remove the excess cerebrospinal fluid afterwards my headache was much better the vertigo was gone and the vomiting started to subside. It took about 4 days before I finally felt much better and could be released from hospital. So because of the headache and pain center I spent 6 days in the hospital. Don't just walk away from this place run for your life. Stacey F.

Apt was at 11:00-arrived at 10:10. It's 12:18 & still waiting....... BIZARRE is the only word that comes to mind. I heard how Medicaid pays pennies-on-the-dollar, the doctors last place of employment one of the partners "raped" the business into the ground & Freeman Hospital in Joplin Missouri could not afford him. He suggested a treatment plan without asking me personally my history. Needless to say I will not be going back

Cindy the receptionist is a very rude and disrespectful person. She interrupts when you are speaking to her and does the bare minimum to keep her job. She is the first person you talk to when calling and she represents them HORRIBLY! Once you get past her the nurses are very nice and Dr. Pinkerton is great! If Cindy was not there my review would be 5 star but she is such a rude person she drags them down to two stars!
